Omg I've always loved writing and wanting to learn calligraphy. You are the 2nd person/account that I found and I love how you just get to the point and also how you teach. I'm gonna watch all your videos and hopefully soon get your workbooks. I can't wait! ❤❤❤

Becca is the best teacher ever. If you are thinking about it - go for it! Take her free course and you will be golden. 😄

Yes - this is the video I wish I had seen 6 months ago when I started on my modern calligraphy journey! I did calligraphy as a kid years ago, so I bought a "calligraphy kit" to get started, and it didn't even have a complete alphabet in the 'guide'. Next I searched KZbin and found people who recommended dip pens.. And I bought the modern calligraphy book from Amazon that everyone says to buy. It didn't add up. I didn't have a brush pen because I thought that wasn't 'real' calligraphy. I couldn't do your drills because my pens didn't make sense. Now I have a better sense of what all of this means, and I do prefer dip pens to brush pens myself... But I wouldn't start that way. I should have put money into those workbooks you show here instead. That would have been a much better use of money and time! I'm still gonna do that, because I'm doing exactly what you said - copying someone else's styles to practice, and not making progress. Thank you, Becca. I've been waiting for exactly this video.

I've taken the drills twice now. I love revisiting the drills as it keeps my skills fresh. Becca is the best teacher. There is no reason to go searching elsewhere. Take the free course, then move on with all of the other books. 💖

It's easy to make your own grid paper to print out as needed. I made 2 different scales: 4 squares per inch and 6 squares per inch.

In her free course you can download them. That course is really good, btw.

This is super helpful! Thank you. Where can I find the Drills workbook you show in the video? I don't see it available in your shop. Thanks!

Can the brush pens be used on watercolor paper? I'm starting to design greeting cards and would like to be able to use some fancy writing skills on them. But honestly I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Just wondering how to get the exercise booklets in your video, they don't seem to be anywhere in your shop?

Thank you for this! Very helpful to understand what is needed to start learning modern calligraphy. Is there anything as a leftie I should be aware of? I sometimes find being left handed means an adjustment needs to be made when trying to learn new things.

Hi there, I am not left handed but Dinu Lu has some videos on this

Sorry, Becca, I went "full brand name" on the things you've mentioned and couldn't understand why I would pay $14 CDN for a pad of grid paper and $6.00 for a pen. No doubt there's a benefit for someone getting deeper into Calligraphy, but a $2.00 pad of paper and leaded pencils, when making up strokes and down strokes, was all I needed.

Are you seriously complaining about paying $20C to learn a new hobby/skill? These are recommendations not requirements. Having the proper tools when you are learning is so important to help master the basics. The supplies are not a one time use either. Properly used they can be used again and again and again. And if $20 is too much for some people, and I understand that for many people that is money that they feel is better spent elsewhere, a pencil, scrap paper and an internet connection can indeed get you started. I’m sure Becca would be OK with whatever you use.

I wanted to try to see if I liked it. And also went with regular pencil and paper it is not the same. The right tools make a difference. You can also go with crayola brand.
